The reunited Pulp’s trip across the pond to play the two-weekend Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival this April brings added benefit to fans in New York City and San Francisco, as Jarvis Cocker and Co. this morning announced gigs in those cities — as well as a Spanish festival date — on the band’s website.
The Britpop vets will intersperse their Coachella performances on April 13 and 20 with much smaller-scale appearances at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on April 11 and at The Warfield in San Francisco on April 17. The band also announced its first European festival of the summer: SOS Festival in Murica, Spain, on May 4.
Additionally, Fire Records is poised to reissue the band’s first three albums — 1983’s It, 1987’s Freaks and 1992’s Separations — in expanded editions in the U.K. on Feb. 13, as our friends at The Second Disc note. Each disc is supplemented with B-sides, non-LP singles and a smattering of previously unreleased material; the It and Separations reissues remain single-disc affairs, while Freaks has been expanded into a 2CD set.
Below, you can see Pulp’s tour dates and tracklists for the reissues:

regardless – stocked.
Mopuddin – you must have missed the story months ago that Coachella is trying out a TWO WEEKEND format….the exact same three-day line-up will be taking place over two consecutive weekends….I think it’s weird and a bit of a moneygrab, but it benefits us up north for FAUXchella! If they had done this last year, perhaps Suede would have popped up to SF and done a gig. :(
I was excited to hear about the expanded edition of Freaks, but realize that everything on there was already on Master of the Universe. Though if they decided to push this as a vinyl edition, I would not be able to resist.
